MACPRO: Is there an interface that uses DIGITAL AUDIO IN?

I just got my new MacPro (woohoo!) and was getting ready to replace my 'ol tube preamp-to-soundcard configuration with a FW input box... when I realized I only have ONE of each FW port!
I already have my USBs overpopulated, and my FW800 daisy-chaining my backup drives... But then I noticed those unused DIGITAL audio plugs in the back.
...Are those even an option?
I really don't know if I want to put a box on the FW daisy chain...
Hmmmm.
tix,

If you want use the digital in/out of your mac are there many fantastic Professional gear
I can suggest
RME ADI-2 it is good and not so expensive
there are also many dream-machines
one of the best (to me) is: Universal Audio 2192 that comes with a Great Class A preamplifier!!!
Apogee mini-dac + Mini MP... or Rosetta 200 (up to +26dBu OUT)
there are many others AD/DA converters... search for it on Google or Yahoo

I'm using a Canon HV20 video camera that uses digital tape. After importing to my Events Library in Final Cut X, there are some timecode breaks between clips resulting also in gaps between the clips. Is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks Russ. I'm a beginner but Lynda.com has a video on making an archive, so I'll follow her video to try this method.

Is there a function that uses Get_DAQ_Device_Info - device_type_code to get info

Is there a function that uses Get_DAQ_Device_Info - device_type_code to get info on the hardware characteristics such as a list of available gains or A/D converter resolution?

Duncan;
When calling Get_DAQ_Device_Info we get most of the information for our board. For example: the base address, calibration status, counter type, serial number, device type code, DMA and Interrupt levels, etc.
At this moment we do not have any function that will let us know the number of channels of a certain device and the configuration mode supported by the board.
However, you can use the Init_DA_Boards to retrieve what type of board is installed on the machine at a given time, and to have a look up table with the available gains for the possible boards that can be used on your application.
Hope this helps.

ODI: Identify every interface that used a specific datastore

Hi all,
I work for a big company, where we have lots of ODI projects going on... I need to identify every interface that used a specific datastore..... do you guys now a easy way to do this? I am using ODI 10 and its search does not provide this king of information.
Thanks

On the Designer tab, under Models section, you should be able to expand each Datastore you have, and see it's properties. One of those properties is Uses section, where you can see where is it used as source or a target.

Is there an RI that uses div s for layout instead of table s?

I am using Struts Tiles, DWR, script.acu.lous drag and drop and JSF.
So, my problem is that since I have incorporated <f:verbatim>, the page is being rendered incorrectly and I don't know how to recombine it back to look like it should. The layout I am doing has a header at top, left hand column for navigation and content well in the middle. Essentially, this boils down to, in JSF, a table row with one table data element for the header and one table row with two table data elements for the nav and content. In the content well, it utlizes a JSF subview with JSF components and then below this a JSF subview with a JSF <f:verbatim>. On the pages that I don't use <f:verbatim>, the layout renders correctly. The rendering problem is that when the markup is rendered, the <f:verbatim> tag is rendered outside the <f:view> with the other JSF subview in the content rendered correctly in the layout. In other words, the whole page except the <f:verbatim> is rendered in a <table>. I understand, from an onjava article, the JSP and JSF rendering occurs in parallel and I am guessing this might be the problem. The page is rendering now with the header in the right place, the nav not behaving like it used to but in the correct place, the portion of the content that is a bunch of JSF components is located to the right of the nav. The <f:verbatim> that should be rendered directly below the JSF components on the content page and to the right of the nav is rendered under both the nav and JSF components outside the <table>.
Is there a RI that uses divs to do layout instead of tables?
OR
How can I get the <f:verbatim> back into the flow of the page so everything is lined up correctly?
Please feel free to yell at me if this is addressed in another thread. I will search for it if this is the case. I haven't had the time to do a thorough search.
Regards,
Dan
sidenote: Using tables for layout is not considered good web design. There are plenty of sites that illustrate use of CSS for layout. I find this a little strange since Sun is always promoting best practices and then it doesn't embrace other industry best practices. This seems more like a MS bullying tactic, but maybe Sun and MS are one in the same.

Cool. That is a great move. The only concern I have now is that there aren't any containers out that support JSP 2.1 and Servlet 2.5 to enable JSF 1.2 except for glassfish. I am using tomcat and not a heavy weight application server. I couldn't find a roadmap on Apache either for Tomcat to know when they will be coming out with Tomcat 6 I imagine. Is there an article or tutorials out yet that demonstrate how to markup a page with the new specification? That yould help. The more I think about using custom components, the more I lean towards using the standard.
Thanks for the heads up. Now I have to think about setting up glassfish and migrating from tomcat unless there is other news I am unaware of =P.

EOS rebel T2i battery is dying really quick. Is there a setting that uses the battery?

I replaced my battery in my 2 year old rebel T2i because the battery started dying a lot sooner. The new battery didn't last much longer. I have the "Auto Power Off" setting to 30 seconds. Is there another setting that will keep the battery / camera on or is there some other problem? OR, is there a way to reboot the system to factory defaults? Thanks.

I did a search at images.google.com for "canon t2i menu" and noticed that I can find versions with 2 yellow wrenches as well as 3 yellow wrenches.
Here's a link to your camera's manual at the Canon site.
http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/9/0300004289/02/eosrt2i-eos550d-im3-c-en.pdf
The instructions are on page 144 -- but it definitely shows that it's the 3rd wrench tab based on that manual.
This many be related to firmware version.
The last firmware for that camera is version 1.0.9. You can find it here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_re...
Updating firmware is fairly easy but they DO want you to have a freshly charged battery (and you said your battery is dying "really quick" -- not sure how long that actually is. It takes just a few minutes to apply new firmware but it would be bad if the camera died before the update completed.

Macpro intel is bugged if you use firewire audio card

hi
i need a solution but apple do nothing . i am boring .
when i use my audio card FW Motu 828 MKII , the sound stopped after few minutes or few hours of work . with all the audio applications like itunes logic or quicktime . . . bus firewire don't work on Macpro with OS10.4.8. it's a bug ! ! !
when the firewire bus stopped to work ,the setup of my audio card is completly destroy volume zero all the pan on right etc . . . .
all my friends who are using the same system audiocard on firewire bus have the same problem . have you a solution ?
or have you the same problem ?
wait for your reply . . ..
best regards chris

first download the macintel drivers from motu, install them ,then reset your motu, that should do the trick.

Using Digital Audio In to play game console audio?

I was hoping this would work, but not sure it will. So far, it doesn't.
I have my Mac Pro connected to a set of 5.1 Klipsch speakers via Griffin's Firewave device.
I wanted to pass the audio from my Xbox 360 to the Mac Pro (via Toslink out from Xbox to digital audio in on Mac Pro) and have the audio output from the Mac pick it up and send it through the Firewave device to the speakers.
I have the connection made between Xbox and Mac Pro, and have set by Audio Input to Built-in Digital Input, but cannot hear the Xbox audio. I couldn't find any sort of "passthrough" feature in either Apple's or the Firewave's software.
I was hoping this would work because I have a similar setup on my PC laptop and it works great: I have another Xbox 360's digital output connected to the optical digital input on a Creative Labs PCMCIA soundcard, and it's able to pass the audio through to the 5.1 speakers I have connected to the laptop.
When the Xbox is powered on, the Digital Input sound meter in System Preferences remains constant at a near-spiked level, so it appears to be getting SOME kind of sigal from the Xbox, but I guess it doesn't know what to do with it from there.
Any way I can get this working? Alternatively, can I use the RCA stereo audio line out from the Xbox and use a Y-adapter to plug those via mini-stereo into the Mac's Built-in Line In?

When I run AudioHijack Pro and route the audio from digital-in, it works fine. Also, viewing the input page on the sound preference pane, the input level shows activity so I know sound is working. However, I can only route audio using audio hijack pro.

I have a scarlett solo usb mic interface that only records audio to the left channel in quicktime.

When I record a movie using my web cam in conjuction with my scarlett solo usb mic interface it only records audio to the left channel. I have tried everything and looked everywhere! Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe:
Quicktime Input is always mono?
how can I make a stereo recording in QuickTime?

Is there anyone here that uses Jedit?

I'm experimenting with Jedit and I like it but I'm trying to figure something out. I've searched the Web and YouTube and really can't find what I'm looking for. I can compile and run my Java programs fine by using the menus at the top. But I would also like to be able to type in the old fashioned commands at the prompt at the bottom of the console:
javac Hello.java
java Hello
But when I type those in I get an error message "file not found". Someone told me that I need to set the Console working directory. Okay. But he didn't tell me how. I've been looking at all the options and everything thinking there must be a way to set the working directory so the console can find my .java file and compile and run it. But I'm turning up zilch.
So if anybody on this forum is familiar with Jedit and can provide some instructions on how to do this please post.

Yeah I'm aware that console is a plug-in. I downloaded it through the plug-in manager.
Then I read something about JCompiler which I guess is a compiler plug-in but I don't see it listed anywhere in the plug-in window so I don't even know if that is installed or not.

Is there a way to use aggregate audio devices in W7 64bit?

Recently Avid Audio released Pro Tools 9. This version of their software is no longer tied to their hardware. Mac users are now able to use more than one audio interface for audio i/o, increasing the number of channels to simultaneously record from. Is there
any way in W7 Home Premium to create an audio profile that combines different interfaces?
For example, I connect a USB audio device (MBox 2) and a firewire device (M-Audio ProFire 2626). Can I have both recording into Pro Tools at the same time?

Just saw this old Post and had to respond, better late than never and MS Still has not given us musicians the love we need with regard to low latency Audio Processing.
Yes it can be done but it's very Hardware Dependent. Both your Devices need to be WDM driver compliant. This is not as fast native ASIO driver w/ regard to latency. There are also limitations like Word Clock timing and no direct monitoring
but depending on what you are looking to do, it may work for you. You could use this for instance to connect a Roland TR-8 (10 Channels out) and Roland TB-3 (2 Channels) and System-1 also 2 Channels out (yeah I'm Roland fan) via USB for
a total of 14 Output channels @96KHz to the DAW.
1. Install all additional audio interface Drivers
2. Install ASIO4all
3. Set ASIO4all as your default driver in your DAW software.
4. Open the ASIO4all control panel and click on the wrench.
5. Enable all desired WDM devices.
6. Device should appear I/O setup of your DAW
Set Word clock to External- (you may also need to reset you Devices driver to "Legacy Mode"

Does anyone use Optical Audio out to connect studio monitors?

I am planning to snatch a Mac Mini as my studio upgrade. I am also planning on buying some studio monitors (as opposed to just regular speakers). I was wondering what people use to get great, accurate results for under $600. The Mini can achieve optical audio out, apparently. Are there studio monitors that use digital, optical audio as a means to connect? How do fellow Logic home studio users have their audio out set up?

Scroto Saggins wrote:
well, optical is digital (right?), so wouldnt it be the only way to get the best, uncolored sound out of a Mac? what other (better) options are there? I started this topic because I dont really notice studio monitors that use optical, and I am wondering why? Whats the downside?
Because the ones that do, are way over the budget of most people on this forum.
I have this pair :

They retail at around 1500 per pair. They are not the most expensive ones out there, rather the less expensive ones with digital inputs.

How to use the Digital Audio in & out RCA jacks a6010n

On the lower right of the back of my Pavillion a6010n desktop, above the mouse and keboard connections and below the monitor connection are two RCA jacks labeled Digital Audio in and out. The top one has an orange insulator and is labeled "out", and the lower one has a black insulator and is labeled "in". I have been unable to find any information about these or how to use them. Can anyone please tell me or direct me to information about this? I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and have added a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card which is cheap but has a better S/N ratio. In Control Panel --> Sound the digital output for the sound card is listed but there is nothing about the Digital Audio jacks I would like to be able to use. Thank you all.

Yes there is. I suggest trolling these boards for the 3rd party remote solutions that will free you to use the remote in ANY application like Winamp, Notepad, Windows Media Player, etc.
Just my two opinionated cents...

What is a good multi track interface to use w/ GB

I use garageband quite frequently and now I want to multitrack. I have always used a tascam 8 track but I am finally making the switch to full computer. My first goal is to record a 3 peice band I am in. So I was thinking a 8 track interface that uses USB possibly. I have a white 09 macbook but I will be upgrading soon if that makes a difference. Also another question which I am wondering is should I even try a different program? Or is GB all I need? I am in Kiel Germany.
Thanks!

Does your macbook have Firewire? If it does then I would suggest you go with a FW interface. The choice of interface depnds on how you decide to record your band, ie one member at a time or all simultaniously. Check out the PreSonus line of gear as one option. I use the FireStudio Mobile without a hitch in GB.
The choice of computer depends on what road blocks you encounter. Depending on your budget, there are RAM and HD upgrades avaliable that you can DIY including SSD. http://www.macsales.com/ The other thing you may find with your macbook is screen real estate or lack thereof.
GB is a very capable program, however, there are some workflow issues that may not suit you. The beauty of GB is that it is not bloated. I think you will find initially setting up your recording environment and collecting gear to be more of an issue that which program to use.
